Description
The Church of All Saints in Willian is a parish church with a two-bay nave and chancel dating from the 12th and 13th centuries, along with a tower and south porch from the 15th century. It features a Welsh slate roof with coped gables and walls made of flint and ironstone rubble, accented with ashlar dressings and buttresses. The three-stage tower includes a stair turret, a battlemented parapet, moulded strings, diagonal buttresses, and gargoyles. The windows are in the Perpendicular style, dating from the 14th and 15th centuries, and the porch is plain and gabled.
Inside, the church has a 19th-century timber barrel roof in the nave and chancel, while the chancel retains original corbel masks. There is a brass memorial for Richard Golden, who died in 1446, and notable wall monuments in the chancel commemorate Edward and Joan Lacon (died 1625 and 1624), John Chapman (died 1624), and Thomas Wilson (died 1656). The original 15th-century chancel screen has been removed, and there are carved chancel seats.
